To plow deep Is one Of the English
rules for good farming. If we had
relied more entirely on maxims of
American manufacture In farming
1t is pretty safe to say that this would
not be among them. For the great
American staple, Indian corn, deep
blowing is almost always injurious.
The soil can scarcely be too warm for
corn, and shallow blowing keeps
warmth near the surface. 1t also
keeps an amount of vegetable mold

the railroads at S., 100000, we have
added One-half to the cost of the latter
and one-fifth to the former in seven
years, although the railroads represent
the accumulated construction of fiftv
years, and the buildings are spread
over an even longer period in their
erection. This enormous increase has
taken place without adding a bale to
the cotton to be carried or a bushel TO
the grain raised. No more pork is
produced now than in 1880, and the
number of sheep is no greater now
than then. Great increase has been
made in cattle raised for food, in fruits
and, on the average, in canned goods.
Coal, taking bituminOus and anthracite
together, has increased One-half from

per has advanced in output from q. O09
tons in 1880 to 60,S00in 1886, and about
the same this year. A great advance
is true of nearly all mineral products,
but in agriculture the United States
has made little or no progress in pro-
duct in the last seven years, but great
advance in acreage or the cost of cult
walton.
